The Schuyler family (/ˈskaɪlər/; Dutch pronunciation: [sxœylər]) was a prominent Dutch family in New York and New Jersey in the 18th and 19th centuries, whose descendants played a critical role in the formation of the United States (especially New York City and northern New Jersey), in leading government and business in North America and served as leaders in business, military, politics, and society.By 1650, Philip Pieterse Schuyler emigrated to New Netherland, settling in Beverwyck.His brother, David Pieterse Schuyler, also emigrated from The Dutch Republic.[2][3][4][5] On 25 March 2020, members of the Schuyler family formed the Schuyler Family Association, with a founding governing board including Charles Neuhauser (chair) and Katherine Rosman.The association periodically publishes items of interest to the family in a newsletter called Kindred.
